Well that went faster than I thought. I don't think the son of Jack Kent Cooke would have been able to fight the battle. He would have done a better PR job though.

Great White Hope posted:Is there any reason he can't keep the logo trademarked? There's nothing remotely offensive about the logo, unless we want to make the argument "Anything resembling a human being is, by law, offensive". Actually, from reading the Washington Post article, the logo itself is now unprotected as well!

Snyder should take inspiration from his own heritage and call them the Washington Ovenfillers.

With Santana Moss on the team you'll probably want someone studied in Archaeological Relics as well.

Whether they lose that is debatable, but if so they'd probably take it to the Supreme Court because Snyder's the definition of a baby who can't Let It Go. The best result would be the Supreme Court not even hearing it, meaning he loses and his football team goes untrademarked the rest of his life while he still refuses to change the name and makes barely any money off merch.

There probably would be more costly back-and-forth filings, though, if their reviewers weren't constantly underwater with work and depressingly stupid, and if their systems weren't an unusable clusterfuck of outmoded, overbuilt, lowest-bidder garbage.

Here's the money shot from the brief:quote:The recognition that this racial designation based on skin color is disparaging to Native Americans is also demonstrated by the near complete drop-off in usage of "redskins" as a reference to Native Americans beginning in the 1960's. This just raises more questions. Is some polling company just cold calling people and asking if they find terms offensive?

Change their name to the Washington John Kerries and use the Patriots logo.

I would say that 'Redskins', being a slur and actually commenting on skin color, is the only one likely to get removed. Braves and Chiefs are just Native American-themed.

Chiefs and Braves are fine, just ban any idiot wearing fake warpaint and regalia from coming in the stadium. Indians are borderline but that loving logo needs to get the gently caress out. Not sure about Blackhawks.

I'm pretty sure the end game is when Synder realizes renaming the team is a potential goldmine. Every fan will run out and by all new merch! Also he can get additional sponsors: "Please welcome to the field your Washington Eat Fresh Football Team by Subway®"

The majority notes that when Mr. Barnhart was asked whether the term “darky” is derogatory, he said that “[d]epending on the context, yes.”232

I'm actually shocked that they didn't bother to trademark the team name until 1967.
